Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. After-work summer events in Ashford have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:10pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- We check site access and send a price.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Ashford
Is Ashford too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
